im bumping this cuz it helped me today

only the price. $250/month to keep my poor kid functioning

yep i eat ridiculously fast. i spend an hour trying to find the perfect video to watch while i eat...just to scarf down my food before the ads finish

hey, just because others may have more difficulties than you, that doesn't make your difficulties invalid. best of luck. edit: and congrats on your success!

even after my 6 month appt, down about 30 lbs, my doctor lectured me that winter was coming and to expect all the weight to come back. perhaps she was trying to get me to be diligent but it rubbed me the wrong way.

watching hostel 3. why oh why

do you happen to drink tea?

oof wingstop, the only place that makes wings hot enough for me :smiley:

4x8 overhead press 4x8 dumbbell rows 3x10 bench press 3x10 lat pulldowns 2x12 dumbbell flies 2x15 skullcrushers 3x12 curls slowly trying to bulk and add some muscle, i had been lifting for maintenance/recomp for 2 years.

being unable to tie my own shoes

i do not count calories. it made me OCD and led me to a bad restrict/binge problem, there was nothing 'easy' about it for me, i agree it's not simple. but i do believe in the simple math of cico. the rub lies in getting the equation on your side :smile:

i started off super slowly, but had much much more to lose than you do. i started with simply walking. as i advanced in speed/distance, i started doing a full body lifting program with weights 3 times a week, and cardio twice a week. but walking every day, i think i was hitting about 12k steps at first. there's a thread…

i guess it would depend on how you define junk food, but yeah, i don't restrict the 'what'. i just restrict the 'how much'. i literally have a candy bar, or a filet-o-fish, a bowl of ice cream...every single day. i work them into my calorie allowance. i lost 71 lbs and have maintained it for almost 3 years using that…

still holds true

first of all, you're ok! there is nothing to be ashamed of, you are human and certainly not alone! i was diagnosed type 2 in august of 2018 with an a1c of 10.4. your doctor will probably recommend changes to your diet. hopefully they will refer you to an RD for nutrition advice. they may also recommend more…

you can combine push/pull. i personally do these compound exercises (i also do a few isolation but didn't list them) monday bench press, rows, and incline press tuesday squats, deadlifts, and abs wednesday rest thursday shoulder press, rows (i can't do pullups), and bench press friday squats, deadlifts, and abs. of course…

uh...i got some bad news for you...

i guess im lucky, when i asked my doctor what i should eat (diagnosed as type 2), she basically said 'i didn't go to school for that, talk to a registered dietician'. im glad i did, as i heard her say in passing that it's impossible to lose weight if you don't eat breakfast -_-

carol i was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in august of 2018, my a1c was 10.4. i was 70lbs overweight and my cholesterol was high. i'm now sitting at an a1c of 5.4, my cholesterol levels are excellent, and i'm almost 80lbs lighter. you can do it! it's very scary at first but you can do it. this place is great for support.

when i changed my diet and lost some weight i was freezing all the time. turns out my iron was ridiculously low. if it keeps up, it wouldn't hurt to check your blood work.

your post reminded me of this meme. how did it go?

ugh my freaking doctor told me that.

where can i find secret eaters? i wish my 600 lb life had hidden cameras

lower body/abs day (currently doing a 4 day upper/lower split) squats 3x8 RDLs 3x8 split squats (ouch) 3x10 calf raises 3x15 full plank 60 seconds elbow plank 60 seconds side plank 60 seconds (each side) scissor kicks 3x30 seconds weighted glute bridges 3x30 laying leg raises 3x40

^^ i just came here to say....that.

upper body day! dumbbell bench press, 3x8 (ok, 2x8 and 1x6, went up in weight tho) dumbbell rows, 3x8 incline press, 3x10 seated 'cable' rows, 3x10 lat raises, 2x15 hammer curls, 3x15 skull crushers, 2x15

are you saying my degree from the university of facebook is useless?

today was upper body and by god dumbbell overhead presses hurt the back of one of my shoulders so much i don't understand why. no other exercise bothers my shoulders. are there any alternatives that provide the same benefits? i'm limited to 2 52.5 dumbbells and i have some resistance bands laying around here somewhere

4 day upper-lower split for me monday - upper tuesday - lower wed - cardio thurs - upper friday - lower saturday - 'diddly squats' sunday - see saturday

is that what the kids call a bro split? im new to this
